They look compatible, though you may be able to get better performance at similar prices with an AMD Phenom II system. Since you're in the U.K., the prices would be different, so I cannot be sure.

It could do with a much better GFX card.

A better graphics card is preferable, but it may be reused from an older PC to save money. Besides, an 8400 GS might be all the OP needs.
